THE FALL OF-FREDDY ADU(3)
Freddy Adu might be the Best definition of the word overhyped in the football recent history.At 15 he was considered the saviour of American Football and even the next Pele.Now, aged 30 he has completely lost the hype around him
Let's see how that happened:
Freddy Adu Was born on June 2nd 1989, and by the age of 14, when D.C United picked him in a Super Draft, he was highly regarded as the future of the U.S football, with great skill and good shooting for a central attacking midlefielder.Soon he became the youngest player who appeared in the MLS and the youngest player who scored a goal in the MLS(aged 14).He impressed, scoring 5 and assisting 3 in 30 games, but when D.C united purchased Christian Gomez, he had competition.A lot of people said that he should play with the Youngsters to develop mentally, but the pressure didn't have him, being selected in the MLS All-Star Team.After being swapped at Salt-Lake he impressed in the U-20 World Cup, and Benfica bought him for 2 millions.
He was loaned to AS Monaco in 2008 and to Belenenses in 2009, where he didn't impress at all.In January 2010 he signed loan deal for Aris, and in January 2011 he was loaned at Rizespor.He didn't impress these clubs, with little game time and poor stats, so he returned to MLS, at Philadelphia Union.After a decent time with Philadelphia, he moved in Brazil, at Bahia, where he lasted from April to November, when he was released.
After being released, he had a bunch of unsuccesfull trials at Blackpool, AZ Alkmaar and many others, but no club wanted him.He signed in 2014/15 to Jagodina, in Serbia where he only played half a match
After unsuccesful spells at KuPs(finland), Tampa Bay Rodies(NASL) and Las Vegas Lights FC, he was no longer wanted at any team.Being Without a contract since December 2018, I think that Adu's career is sadly over.
What do You think about Freddy Adu?Do You agree?What do You think that the american Will do?
